A collected privet and a Chinese juniper from Home Depot. I believe it’s their 5th summer on their way to bonsai and they’re my earliest material still around. Lot of mistakes and lessons learned on these, more to go, I’m sureView attachment 387393View attachment 387392
I wanna know what Home Depot you're shopping at that you're finding that kind of material!!

Here's the Chinese juniper I picked up about a month ago from there. Forgot to take a before pic, as always

No carving to show on this pine. Just working on compacting the form and increasing the density of the foliage now that general form is determined!
This years candles are still extending, will be ready to wire and thin in the fall. Good response from de-candling this year.

This kotohimi is extending now, ive already rubbed off countless unwanted buds, its a constant battle with this species, even more prolific than elms and hawthorn. i dont think it even knows it was repotted last month.

something neat today

i kinda think of these threads as “what bonsai did you do today”, if the in progress it super early stuff isn’t appreciated i can knock it off

here’s my ficus, wires removed. debating chasing buds back now or letting it explode first, the latter is probably best.
